Sam Zell, Chairman of the Board of Equity International, recently completed the merger of Equity Office Properties with the Blackstone Group in a going-private buyout valued at a record-setting $39 billion. Equity Office Properties was the nation's largest publicly traded office building owner with interests in more than 500 buildings in 16 states and was the subject of a closely fought bidding war.

Come hear Mr. Zell speak about the market for corporate control, bidding wars in takeover battles and the role of governance in the public equity markets.
